The ''Double Arm Lizard'' is a [[Helic Republic]] [[Blox]] Zoid. It is among the earliest [[Fuzor Zoids|combined]] Zoids to have been created, developed as a fusion between [[Leoblaze]] and [[Unenlagia]]. Because this fusion results in a Zoid with two cores, its power output is extremely high. This, in turn, leads to improvement in nearly every aspect of its performance, from firepower to maneuverability, although the increase in mass does limit its top speed.

D.A. Lizards was made appearances in both the ''[[Zoids VS]]'' GameCube series and the ''[[Zoids Saga]]'' Game Boy Advance series, where it was able to combine with the [[Buster Eagle]], to form the [[Griffin]]. In ''Zoids Legacy'' and on, it could be created as a permanent fusion between Leoblaze and Unenlagia, or as a temporary fusion mid-battle. The same applies when fusing it into Griffin.

Unlike many of the other Fuzor zoids, D. A. Lizards is actually somewhat useful in the early game as the player has few powerful Zoids and it only requires two zoids to work.
 
   
  +
The D.A. Lizard is in all but the first game of the ''Saga'' series, making its first appearance in ''[[Zoids Legacy]]'' under the name ''2-arm Lizard''. Like all of the game's Blox fusions, it can be formed during battle from an existing Leoblaze and Unenlagia using Deck Commands, or it can be constructed as a standalone Zoid. The 2-arm Lizard is also a component of the Griffin, and can be used in the place of Leoblaze and Unenlagia to form "[[Matrix Dragon|Fuzor Dragon]]" and [[Gojulox]].

In ''Legacy'', the 2-arm Lizard fusion is one of the only useful combination Deck Commands, because its components can be acquired before the player has had an opportunity to amass a large force of powerful Zoids.

It retained the same Blox and grey Republic pilots of the initial releases.

The D.A. Lizards was first released as part of TOMY's ''Blox'' subline. The kit consisted of a Leoblaze and Unenlagia; both recoloured in white and light grey. The kit included instructions and labels for the two component Zoids, along with an additional set of instructions to create D.A. Lizards.

The D.A. Lizard is a Lizard-type of Zoid, a race of mechanical lifeforms from the fictional Zoids universe. Its name is an abbreviation of Double Arm Lizard (ダブルアームリザード, Daburu Āmu Rizādo).

Overview

The Double Arm Lizard is a Helic Republic Blox Zoid. It is among the earliest combined Zoids to have been created, developed as a fusion between Leoblaze and Unenlagia. Because this fusion results in a Zoid with two cores, its power output is extremely high. This, in turn, leads to improvement in nearly every aspect of its performance, from firepower to maneuverability, although the increase in mass does limit its top speed.

Like all Blox Zoids, the D.A. Lizard can merge with other Zoids to create more powerful forms; one of the most notable is the Griffin.

A variation of the D.A. Lizards is the Shadow Arm Lizard, equipped with sensor-defeating stealth body armor and improved long-range firepower in the form of a potent beam launcher and a three-barreled missile launcher. This covert action Zoid has been given the whimsical nickname "Monkey".

Battle Story Appearances

Near the end of the war between the Helic Republic and Neo-Zenebas Empire in ZAC 2109, brothers Hiro and Aki Isurugi used their Shadow Arm Lizards to investigate reports of clandestine Zoid research on the island of Nikaidos. They discovered the renegade scientist Zarqa and his Death Stinger ZS.

Saga series

Saga 2 Double-Arm Lizard

Zoids Legacy 2-arm Lizard sprite

The D.A. Lizard is in all but the first game of the Saga series, making its first appearance in Zoids Legacy under the name 2-arm Lizard. Like all of the game's Blox fusions, it can be formed during battle from an existing Leoblaze and Unenlagia using Deck Commands, or it can be constructed as a standalone Zoid. The 2-arm Lizard is also a component of the Griffin, and can be used in the place of Leoblaze and Unenlagia to form "Fuzor Dragon" and Gojulox.

In Legacy, the 2-arm Lizard fusion is one of the only useful combination Deck Commands, because its components can be acquired before the player has had an opportunity to amass a large force of powerful Zoids.

Zoids VS series

The D.A. Lizard (using its full name of Double Arms Lizard) has a moderate role in the Zoids VS series, most notably Zoids Battle Legends (Zoids VS II). It can be accquired in Mission 14 of Republic Mission Mode and is used by Tita Breeze in Battle 1 of Mission Tournament Mode, alongside Shoma and the Aero Liger.

It retained the same Blox and grey Republic pilots of the initial releases.

The D.A. Lizard kit also included a VHS cassette with a brief animated Blox battle/commercial.

All other subsequent releases of Leoblaze and Unenlagia can also be used to form D.A. Lizards; see their respective pages for more details.

Yuji Kaida

Salizard

YK Shadow Arm Lizards

The D.A. Lizard was redecoed as Shadow Arm Lizard in early 2004 as part of the Yuji Kaida limited edition series. The kit features a matte-finish black plastic for the armor, with the other sprues recolored in dark blue-green and gunmetal. The Shadow Arm Lizards also includes the Cannondiver's weapon sprue in silver, although not all of the parts on it are used for the official build. Shadow Arm Lizard also has its own unique sticker sheet.

Notes

  • Although the box gives the D.A. Lizard's type as "Lizards" in English, the katakana actually specify that it is a goanna-type Zoid.
  • The Shadow Arm Lizard is nicknamed "Monkey" because the Japanese word for monkey, saru, is pronounced the same as the acronym "SAL" when rendered in katakana.
